TIFU By leaving my BF’s penis lying around

TLDR at the bottom.

Obligatory yes, this actually happened today.

This morning, around 10am, I wake up on the floor (that’s a different story), delirious from getting very little sleep, and realize that I promised my good friend Jimbo I’d hang out with him at 11. The tired is overwhelming; I text asking if we can hang later. The consensus is yes, but we definitely won’t have a lot of time. 11 it is, so be it. I start cleaning up my dorm.

It’s been a hard week—there’s a giant laundry pile that I cover with a blanket, abundant trash that I remove, crumbs that I pick up. I’m interrupted in my cleaning process by a knock-knock-knock, ten minutes early.

“You’re early, my dude,” I say, frantically picking up a bunch of paper grocery bags to put them in a recycling bin. “Sorry, I’ll wait out here,” Jimbo says through the door. I do a quick look over my shoulder while I’m walking to the door to make sure that there’s nothing terrible lying around, and then open the door, walking past Jimbo to put the bags in the hall bin. I allow Jimbo to enter while I put the bags in the bin. Mistakes.

Coming back to the room, Jimbo is sitting at one of the two places in my dorm that there are to sit: my desk. Jimbo starts talking to me about Impractical Jokers, asking if I watch them and saying that there’s a clip he’d like to show me because he thought I’d appreciate it. I look at Jimbo’s phone, then a quick glance up at my desk makes my soul leave my body. My silicone copy of my BF’s dick is just chilling out, having a time on my desk. Oh my God.

I reach around Jimbo, who is intently staring at the clip on his phone. He’s talking about Impractical Jokers, like the gigachad that he is. I, as calmly as possible, grab the offensive object. He’s still talking about Impractical Jokers. I’m furiously opening a drawer and placing the source of my embarrassment inside—he’s still talking about Impractical Jokers.

With the Eyeball Offender 9000 put away, I finally look at the clip that’s playing on his phone. My face burns redder than a tomato. Jimbo’s giggling, and I’m not sure if it’s because of what just happened or the man imitating the Count from Sesame Street saying something about mesothelioma and the number “1-888-8888”. The seconds pass like hours as I try to contain my anxiety. The clip is over. I nervously laugh, then cue up the game that we were supposed to play.

The situation is never mentioned throughout the rest of the two-hour hang. We play as a conjoined dog, pushing melons around and jumping on plants. The 300 mg caffeine flowing through my body makes this all feel like a fever dream.

Jimbo, eventually, leaves. I am left to deal with the embarrassment of a situation that he has probably already forgotten about. I lay down for a three-hour nap.

Tl;dr: left a silicone copy of my BF’s penis out on my desk, didn’t notice, friend came over, didn’t mention it, talked about impractical jokers while I tried to stealthily put it away

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
